"Maggie" - Magnetic Island

Once more we got up very early in order to have a short brekky at our terrace. Then we walked to the ferry terminal and had a nice ferry ride to "Maggie". We got off, and at first, we didn't know where to go. Now signs that showed the ways to the boardwalks or something like that. So we grabbed a flyer, asked one of the staff and planned our trip. We decided to walk to Arcadia. The way led us through the national park. A really rocky and small way with very steep parts. So, from time to time, we really got a little exhausted. But was fun anyway. On our way through the "mountains" we met a funny old man who talked to us for some minutes - a break which was warmly welcomed ;-)

After arriving at "the top" of the mountain we had a great view over the horseshoe bay (from our self-found lookout) and a little fruity-picnic.


Then we continued and started our way down the other side heading towards Arcadia where we arrived at beautiful Alma Bay. A very small bay with very few people and crystal clear and nice temperatured water. After lying in the sun, relaxing, sleeping and enjoying we went for a swim. Then we returned, dried and moved back to the ferry...

After returning to the mainland, we got into an internet-cafè and booked our Whitsunday Cruise and the YHA at Airlie Beach. Afterwards we had some dinner and then strolled towards the strand. We passed some really nice parts and (amphie theatre, the monthly "night market" - a cool event with music, food and goods, the pier with cooool lights) walked until we reached the rock pool.


Then we hurried back to the city in order to do some grocery shopping again. It worked out and we arrived at coles before they closed. After coming back to the hostel we almost fell into our beds immediatly - what a cool day :)
